As you all know, storm Juno recently hit NYC and based on previous experience...it is going to be cold...brrrr! So dress appropriately with lots of layers, perhaps a statement making hat or beanie as well as gloves. Incorporate color in your statement making outfit but don't look like a clown ;)

I will be working the shows but on the shifts that I have off, I will be around Lincoln Center recording the street style!

Do you sometimes wish that H&M had better quality of your favorite knits, shoes, or trousers? COS is here to take care of all of that! Prices are still affordable but are higher than what we see in H&M stores. COS is having a great SALE right now. You should definitely check it out. I visited the store while I was in Hong Kong and all of the looks were modern and professional. There are only 2 stores in the US, one in LA and one in NY. You won't find sexy pieces but you will find modern professional ones.

I am super excited and honored to announce that I will be one of the lucky ones to work at the last Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Lincoln Center this February! We don't know what will happen after the February shows but I will share with you anything I find out via Instagram and Facebook!

The selection process was super competitive and it lasted exactly one month. I had to go to NY for one day to interview. It all started with an email I sent here.

Last night I had the honor and opportunity to meet Rebecca Minkoff in SF! Back in 2013, I saw her at the Prabal Gurung for Target collab event in NY but didn't get a picture with her (see my blog post here). This time I did! She hosted a party from 6-8pm at 2124 Fillmore, the new home of her amazing designs in SF. It was great to see lots of fashionistas and bloggers in one spot celebrating with fashtech pioneer Rebecca Minkoff!

Before going to Asia, I researched affordable brands and stores that I could visit. I came across Stradivarius! Stradivarius is a Spanish brand owned by Inditex Group, the same company that owns Zara. I have been wanting a leather jacket for a while now and when I discovered that I could get a real leather one for less than $200 in Hong Kong, I was ecstatic!

This is how I styled my leather jacket today! I am wearing a jade necklace pendant, earrings, and bracelets from Thailand and Hong Kong ;)

Happy New Year! As you all know, my husband and I vacationed in Asia this year! It was an amazing experience. During our vacation, I paid attention to the fashion. I always think that it is very interesting to see what people are wearing around the world. In my home country, Puerto Rico, women tend to wear more revealing pieces, very tall shoes, and of course light pieces because it is so hot there.

In the US, you get a little bit of everything. In Asia, specifically in Taiwan and Hong Kong is completely different. People dress very conservative overall in both countries. In Taiwan, the style is much like a school girl look. I noticed that the younger women in their 20's and 30's wore a cute top with shorts over some black tights and flats. The older women wore a button up shirt and chinos. No crop tops were worn.

In Hong Kong, the go-to hue is black. We stayed at The Pottinger Hotel and around there I spotted all black everything styled with a designer handbag. Almost everyone owned a designer handbag. The focus isn't on style, it is on handbags and shoes to go with head-to-toe black outfits. I thought that this was very interesting. I think it has to do with the fact that everyone is in Hong Kong to work and make good money and so they dress professional. No crop tops were worn.
